I like the ancient decor of the rooms. The bed was super confortable. The yogurt and muesli was very nice too. The little area is quiet and safe. The garden is so cute and Bella the cat is very endearing.

Safe parking outside the house on the pavement, It has an exceptionally beautiful garden. It was fascinating to be in a large period home, with period furniture. Very quiet at night. We had access to the kitchen to make coffee/tea. The rooms with a double bed were very spacious compared to the room with twin beds, There were sitting rooms at the guests' disposal.

A beautiful town with so much to explore. For tourists s longer stay is advisable to see everything this lovely place has to offer. But it also offers perfect overnight stops when passing through. We recommend Barrydale Karoo Lodge. With an in-house pub and restaurant, you need nothing more.

Barrydale is a small town with a lot of potential. Wonderful artistic shops and drop in eateries. Amazing 2nd hand bookshop - new books also available - I couldn't leave!! Close to Warmwaterberg - a must for a visit, not far from Swellendam and Witsand - beautiful beach. Lovely walks in the hills around the village.

It is lovely, safe and quiet.
It is lovely, safe and quiet. Most of the restaurants close at 5pm, so don't expect to eat out at a nice restaurant. Fortunately the guest house we were staying at was spacious and comfortable, and so we made a plan to buy our own food and eat in. But seriously, going out to eat should be an option.

Great little town when you turn off the main road and explore a little. Wonderful, friendly people in all the places we visited.
Must visit the Karoo Art Hotel for a great meal, incredible staff and festive atmosphere.

One of the highlights was the sense of peace and tranquillity we felt in this authentic ‘dorp’. The solitude of the town provided a serene backdrop, making our stay truly magical.
Exploring the town and its surroundings was a delightful adventure. Quaint local shops, friendly faces, and the simplicity of life in the Karoo made our stay truly authentic. My list of mandatory places to visit would be Diesel and Crème for their out-of-this-world milkshakes, The House of Books (a paradise for any bibliophile), The Karoo Art Hotel for coffee or a gin and the gorgeous décor and coffee shop ‘Die Langhuis’
This gem on the border of the Karoo has the potential to become an even more coveted destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in this unique South African landscape.
In summary, our time in this small town was a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of big city life.
Perfect location in the heart of Barrydale. Our hosts Uwe and Carel clearly love what they do and where they are and that is contagious. The combination of German precision and the relaxing life and feel in a quaint is pretty special. Time stood still for a while on our way to the KKNK. The coffee and home made pastry on the stoep made us feel so welcome and the recommendation of dinner at the Hotel was a very good one. Barrydale will definitely be our stop over again. Thank you!
Breakfast was excellent - especially the German meat salad. Everything was exceptional - from serving the coffee, showing us how to break an egg with a special "thingi" a heater to keep us warm, beautiful gardens and lovely dogs. Uwe proudly told us how happy they are in Barrydale and sharing their story on how they came about to move from Hamburg to SA, Thank you Uwe, Carel and your friendly staff.
Most beautiful well manicured gardens with a spectacular mountain view from room. Friendly and helpful owners. Rooms are comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. Easy access to all restaurants and shops and safe parking on on the property. Highly recommended and a 10 from us.
Such a fun, eclectic spot. Full of antiques. We loved it. Conveniently located beside the Diesel and Crème Restaurant, open for Breakfast and Lunch. Their Chia Latte was the best we have ever had. They recommended the Mez Karoo Kitchen for dinner…it was excellent as well.
Staying at the motel is an experience that everyone visiting Barrydale should enjoy, at least once - I would suggest more than just once. Every decor item was thoughtfully curated and made the visit even more special. I had a wonderful short stay and hope to be back!
Barrydale is a beautiful town, and Sandy's Place is well located within the town. It is within walking distance of all the restaurants. The unit was well equipped and comfortable. We had parking right outside our door, which made packing and unpacking easy.
The peace and tranquility of the location on a fruit farm. We loved the walks through the orchards.
Close proximity to town and restaurants. Our host Yvonne was really wonderful and very helpful with local knowledge. The cottage was amazing and well equipped.
The cottage is a true gem and beautifully decorated and Teri's hospitality and warm welcome is beyond words. Barrydale is a lovely little town. We enjoyed every minute of our 2 night stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We will be back for sure.
Great getaway from the hustle and bustle. Barrydale and surrounding towns have plenty of exploration options.... Or you can just sit in front of the fireplace with a good book. Farm is peaceful with plenty of hiking trails and beautiful dogs.
What a fantastic little boutique hotel. Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. Dinner and breakfast were great. Very comfortable, well appointed room. Quiet at night. Would recommend it to anyone.
Newly renovated. Looks absolutely amazing inside now. The rooms were really clean, spacious and super comfortable. Would have no hesitation recommending this Karoo Lodge to other people.
Very comfortable stay. Nicola was a very accommodating host and provided a very tasty continental breakfast from home made produce. Also well positioned for exploring Barrydale.
